Physical education contributes to the total education of the child in the following manner: Physically through the development of the basic motor skills and physical fitness through activities designed around growth and development of individuals. Socially - through activities designed to encourage cooperation and sportsmanship. Emotionally - through the development of character-building qualities such as honesty and personal respect. Intellectually - through the acquisition of knowledge about the activities and games, and an aesthetic appreciation and under- standing of the activities from a participant's or a spectator's point of view. With push-button living becoming more prevalent, there is too little opportunity for physical activity and beneficial exercise. Influences such as television and other mass entertainment are developing "watchers, rather than doers." There is need for more physical activity that will develop physical fitness. 1 4 I'D 01 n.t e -vcr It is the purpose of a comprehensive program of physical fitness and physical education to develop the following physical characteristics in children: Speed Balance Endurance Coordination Flexibility Agility Muscle Strength The foundation for developing the above characteristics in children can be found in the implementation of a comprehensive Physical Fitness Program. Specifically, this program provides a concentrated series of activities designed specifically to develop the body-building and skill-development activities described. To further develop and apply the identified characteristics into a comprehensive program that will develop the social, emotional, and intellectual, as well as the physical program objectives, a comprehensive physical education program serves as an expansion of the basic district physical fitness program. A comprehensive physical education program begins with the development of simple organizational activities designed to prepare individual children for specific skill building activities. As skills and the characteristics previously iden- tified are developed to a progressively higher degree through the implementation of simple physical education activities, the program progresses into a more complex state. Specifically, complex organizational activities combine acquired individual skills into more sophisticated physical education activities.

Indivzd -u al Plitriess 1Teecis A well-rounded physical education program provides opportunity for each student in each grade (1) to participate in a full range of physical activities at a level commensurate with his ability; (2) to pursue the type of participation that is most beneficial to aim; and (3) to receive instruction that will help him to develop the skills he needs to participate in physical activities with the degree of success that results in satisfaction. Such a program of physical education makes provision for each student to build upon his abilities whether they are great or are limited by handicapping conditions. Each student is helped in this endeavor by giving him the instruction and practice he needs, by evaluating his progress and giving him additional instruction and practice if needed, and by constantly adapting instruction so that he may be motivated at all times
